The FBI’s Boston Division is seeking to identify individuals potentially impacted by cryptocurrency fraud and market manipulation.  

Leaders of four cryptocurrency companies and four cryptocurrency "market makers" and their employees have been charged in connection with an investigation into widespread fraud and market manipulation in the cryptocurrency industry.  The alleged schemes carried out by these individuals and companies involved "wash-trading"—creating fake trading volume through coordinated buying and selling—and other misrepresentations made to attract new investors to cryptocurrencies and artificially inflate the cryptocurrencies’ trading prices.

The charges allege that these individuals and companies promoted the following cryptocurrencies in particular through one or more fraudulent tactics: 

• Saitama, SaitaRealty, and SaitaChain 
• Robo Inu 
• VZZN 
• Lillian Finance
• NexFund AI

If you bought or sold any of the cryptocurrencies referenced above, or otherwise believe that you may have been impacted by the alleged conduct, please fill out this form.

If you know of someone else who has possibly been impacted by the alleged conduct, please encourage them to complete the form themselves.
